System information

FEDORA 40 with Wayland and Sway

Describe the bug

When Lapce is created as a top level window via Wayland (wlroots in my example) it provides an null app_id.

This app_id is crucial for applications such as application switchers, docks, and menu bars.

Without this app_id a lot of Wayland based desktop widgets will not display Lapce as a running application.
